We love this museum because it is free, family-oriented and never too crowded. Always plenty of parking too. You don't feel rushed and the staff and volunteers are helpful and friendly. The is a small museum that offers a history of boating, local pirate lore, local sea life, lifesaving history and local shipwrecks/battles.There is plenty to interest even young children. Even the gift shop is worth checking out. Very little junk and fairly reasonable prices. We go back every year!
